Ofelia wasn’t exactly looking her best through episode 14, El Matadero, which was understandable when it was revealed that she was fatally bitten back at the ranch when the horde of Walkers invaded.

The unexpected twist left fans particularly devastated, as her inevitable death came as Ofelia and the rest of Madison’s group were well on their way to the trading post, where Ofelia would have been reunited with her father, Daniel.

In true Fear The Walking Dead style, Ofelia passed away just as Daniel arrived, leaving fans wondering if their hearts could actually cope with this show and its brutal plot twists anymore tbh.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter about her shock exit from FTWD, actress Mercedes Mason described her final scenes as something strangely ‘beautiful’.

Addressing Ofelia’s death in the arms of her father, Mercedes said: ‘I think there’s something beautiful about him being forced to put his daughter out of her misery, and also in theory it’s paying for all of the sins he’s committed.

‘It’s what he was haunted by, and what his biggest fear was, that his daughter would follow in his footsteps, or that she would become a victim to this world, and ultimately he has to put her out,’ she explained.

‘And I love the fact that she didn’t turn.’

Ofelia managed to escape the world of Fear The Walking Dead without a zombie transformation, which Mercedes is grateful for on behalf of her character.
